He did not require naturalization. If you don't need naturalization, then you must be natural born.

So does that mean that the 300,000 anchor babies born each year to illegal aliens are natural born and eligible to be President? What about the thousands of children born each year to tourists?

There are two kinds of natural born citizens: (1) Those born on US soil (jus solis); and (2)those born elsewhere to US citizens thru blood (jus sanguinis)--derivative citizenship. The latter requires that certain conditions be met and that you must apply to gain citizenship. It is not automatic.

"300,000 anchor babies born each year to illegal aliens...or tourists."

They're missing US citizen parentage. How could they be considered natural born ?
